Why people here get in touch
The advantage of local is that you can leave.
There is a specific value to therapy happening somewhere that is not your bedroom. You travel to it, you say the difficult thing in a room built for it, and then you leave the room and the difficult thing mostly stays there. For a lot of people that separation is the whole reason to come in person, and it is genuinely harder to get on a laptop at the kitchen table.
The other side of being local is smaller and worth saying out loud. In a village this size, people worry about being seen going into a therapist's office. That worry is common, it is not silly, and it is a reasonable thing to raise at the consult, including if it means you would rather be virtual even though you live ten minutes away.
Getting here
Where the office actually is.
The office is in Patchogue, on Long Island's South Shore in Suffolk County. The village is on the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and is one of the departure points for the Fire Island ferries, so it is a reasonable place to reach from most of the surrounding South Shore without a long drive inland.
Whichever format you pick, the consult is free and it is a conversation rather than an assessment. Nothing about the first call commits you to booking anything.
Common questions
Asked by people in Patchogue.
- Do I have to come in person if I live in Patchogue?
- No. Plenty of local clients choose virtual sessions because it fits around work or because a video call feels easier to keep. Living nearby gives you the option, it does not commit you to it.
- Can I switch between in person and virtual?
- Yes. Some people come in during the winter and go virtual in summer, or the reverse. As long as you are physically in New York at session time, the format is yours to move.
- Do you take insurance for in person sessions in Patchogue?
- Select New York plans are accepted, currently Aetna, Northwell Direct, UnitedHealthcare and Optum, and coverage is the same whether the session is in the office or on video. Verify your specific benefits with your plan, since coverage varies.
